The AFL-CIO Scholarship Guide aids union members, their dependents and students in their search for financial assistance to cover the cost of attending colleges and other post-secondary institutions, including two- and four-year colleges and universities, graduate schools, culinary institutions, musicians training institutes, vocational, technical and nursing schools, and so on.

The guide is divided into five sections: scholarships and awards from AFL-CIO international and national unions; AFL-CIO state federations; AFL-CIO local central labor councils; local unions; and special categories. In addition, the guide offers a bibliography of additional financial aid programs and other sources of information that may be of assistance in covering the high cost of paying for a college education. Information about each scholarship should be obtained directly from contact persons listed in the guide.

Scholarships listed in the guide are normally only available for union members and their families from the union sponsoring the scholarship. If a scholarship is awarded to the general public, it will be indicated in the Eligibility part of the specific scholarship listing.

Single copies of the guide are available without charge for union members only. Copies are $3.00 each for all others. Requests and checks (payable to the Secretary-Treasurer AFL-CIO) should be sent to the AFL-CIO Department of Support Services, 815 16th Street, N.W., Room 209, Washington, D.C. 20006.

The guide will also be available online via LaborNet in the General Information Library.
